Description Henrik Lindberg CLA 2010-10-02 20:51:40 EDT 
When inferring the type of a List or Map with undeclared type, a type constrain should be given higher precedence than inferring the type from the contents of the list.

i.e.
List<String> a = ["hello", 2]; 

Should produce error that 2 is not compliant with the list type (as opposed to stating that a List<Object> can not be assigned to a List<String>.

Implemented for List in revision 1325.
Comment 2 Henrik Lindberg CLA 2010-10-02 21:11:31 EDT
